Create an API key

Everything on ArkaFlow authenticates with an sk- key scoped to one of your projects. Two minutes end to end.

1. Sign up​

Create an account at gateway.oya.moe — email, Google, Microsoft or GitHub all work. New workspaces receive trial credit automatically, so you can make real calls before adding a payment method.

2. Mint the key​

  1. Open API Keys in the console sidebar.
  2. Click New API key, give it a name (e.g. local-dev), and confirm.
  3. Copy the key now — it is shown exactly once at creation. If you lose it, rotate the key instead of hunting for it.

3. Keep it safe​

  • Store keys in environment variables or a secret manager, never in source.
  • One key per environment (dev / CI / prod) makes rotation painless.
  • A leaked key? Rotate it from the API Keys page — the old secret stops authenticating immediately and usage history is preserved.

Playground experiments don't need any of this: the console Playground can mint a one-time trial key or a 1-hour ephemeral key on the spot.
